Wafer Surface Defect Detection Based on Background Subtraction and Faster R-CNN
Jiebing Zheng, Tao Zhang
Abstract
Concerning the problem that wafer surface defects are easily confused with the background and are difficult to detect, a new detection method for wafer surface defects based on background subtraction and Faster R-CNN is proposed. First, an improved spectral analysis method is proposed to measure the period of the image, and the substructure image can then be obtained on the basis of the period. Then, a local template matching method is adopted to position the substructure image, thereby reconstructing the background image. Then, the interference of the background can be eliminated by an image difference operation. Finally, the difference image is input into an improved Faster R-CNN network for detection. The proposed method has been validated on a self-developed wafer dataset and compared with other detectors. The experimental results show that compared with the original Faster R-CNN, the proposed method increases the mAP effectively by 5.2%, which can meet the requirements of intelligent manufacturing and high detection accuracy.
